Took Mr Wooties to the vet today as its been almost exactly 3 months since the TPLO. Dr V said he is and I quote "ecstatic" about how well Eli is doing. He said he doing exceptionally well. Watched him walk for a while and stand around the office. Said there's still a slight limp -expected & normal- but he actually tends to use the repaired leg MORE than the other. And when he stands, he also shifts a lot of weight onto it.. which can be good, that its feeling that good, and bad, that there might be an underlying cause in his hips and/or other knee. We're going to get the Xrays our other vet took of his hips so he can see them.

On a side note, we're thinking he might have the beginnings of corneal dystrophy.. have been noticing some cloudiness in the centers of his eyes. Dr V looked at them, said its COMMON in Boxers, but doesnt think it is serious at this point. Just to keep an eye on him and make sure it doesnt get worse.

He also listened to his heart again, didnt hear any irregularities, and thinks the irregular EKG during surgery was probably anesthesia-related. So thats definitely good!

So he is free to take a 30 min walk once a week, in addition to the 2 daily 5 min walks, and stairs are FINALLY ok.... Of course, as long as he's not flying up and down them. =)
